CCAAUUTTIIOONN
The ADT-100S is a sophisticated state state-of-the-art sensing device from which you
can expect years of service. Note, however, that it is neither a microphone nor an ampli-
fying source. The signal provided by the trigger is a high-voltage fast-rising spike
whose level is proportional to the force of the hit it is sensing. Its function is to provide
a triggering signal to electronic sound sources, drum machines, midi converters, etc.
Unlike other triggers, the ADT-l00-S was designed mount primarily on the shell of an
acoustic drum, it also performs well when mounted on any vibrating surface including a
rim.
Although it will function as a head-mounted trigger, Fishman Transducers will not war-
ranty triggers used head-mounted due to the amount of potential misuse and abuse to
which head-mounted triggers are subjected. Try to avoid direct hits to the trigger and
don't pull on the cable when removing from the drum shell. This may cause damage to
the unit.

Recommended location on the outside of the drum shell is approximately 1/2” below
the of the batter (top) head in an area that will not be subjected to bumps by other
drums or stands. It will function with equal results if mounted inside the drum shell with
the wire directed through the sound hole.

11..Thoroughly clean the surface area onto which you have chosen to mount the trigger.
The shell must be dry and free of dust or other contaminants.
22..Remove the release paper from one of the three adhesive squares provided and affix
to the prepared surface of the shell. Make sure the adhesive square is set firmly in
place.
33..Clean the bottom of the trigger. Remove the remaining piece of release paper from
the 1" adhesive-bar square and place the trigger, “f” logo side up, in the center of
the square.
44..With the trigger in place, remove the release paper from the adhesive backed clamp
and attach the clamp to the drum shell or to the drum holder so that the Jack will
point downward when inserted in the clamp.
BBAASSSSDDRRUUMM
Because of possible cross-talk from rack mounted toms, optimum mounting location on
bass drums is on the batter head about 2-3” from the rim. Follow the shell-mounting
procedure, making sure that the surface of the head is clean and dry. DO NOT PLACE
THE TRIGGER NEAR THE BEATER AREA. Because of the magnitude of constant vibra-
tions in this area the trigger life could be considerably shortened.
FFIINNEETTUUNNIINNGG
The ADT-100-S tracks extremely well when mounted solidly in the proper location and
if the sensitivity of the interface unit has been properly adjusted. However, double-trig-
gering or Cross-talk from one drum to another can occur.
A high volume live performance situation can cause interaction of the drum heads and
the amplification system. We recommend reducing the input sensitivity on the interface
unit or employing internal head dampers.
Also, if the drums are not isolated or if stands are allowed to bang into them, cross-talk
will occur. Try using some padding material or reinforcing your stands to accomplish
better isolation of each drum.
